I ate your plums.

This Is Just To Say
by William Carlos Williams

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

That poem amused me this morning, so I thought I'd share the smile. There have always been certain people in my family that were a bit...particular...about the items in the refrigerator. ;)

So, today is the official first day of Fall Break. I'm so thankful that I don't have to slog through a normal Thursday this week. Tuesdays and Thursdays seems to be the bane of my existence, but oh well, there are only 33 days of class left in this semester (which is hard to believe!). It should be bearable...that is, if it will EVER stop raining. I don't usually mind the rain -- it helps me focus when I need to study or think -- but I can't stand it for days and days on end. Anyway, it's supposed to stop raining by tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to hiking with my family at Petit Jean and getting lost in a corn maze Saturday night with some friends.

It feels like there are a million other things on the tip of my tongue, but I can't put any of them into words. Maybe I'll be able to put my thoughts together while I'm out of school for a few days. Right now I think I'm going to ... get ready for bed. Sleep sounds good.
